Configuration and Events

days-until reads its configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/days-until.yaml or ~/.config/days_until.yaml.

The easiest way to add events is with the --add option. If you'd like to add the events manually, they should be in the following format:

event1:
  event: "Final Day in Switzerland"
  dates:
    start: "2019-12-7"
    end: "2019-12-20"

The top level keys (event1 in this example) don't matter as long as they're unique. I tend to use event{N}, but anything will work.

• event is a string name for the event.
• start is the date on from which you'd like progress to be tracked.
• end is the date of the event.

All dates should be in YYYY-MM-DD format.

To remove entries interactively, use the --remove option.
